Hello, I am a C coder but new to Perl. I am running in an AIX environment. I was wondering if there was a Perl way to return string data (or larger int values) to a C program? For instance, if I use the command :
ps aux | grep process123 my out put would look like this: emextra 45304 0.0 0.0 7344 6120 - A 20:08:01 0:00 process123 emextra 97034 0.0 0.0 3184 1984 - A 20:11:25 0:00 process123 emextra 123294 0.1 0.0 5100 3580 - A 20:06:47 0:37 process123 emextra 186828 0.0 0.0 2328 912 - A 20:07:22 0:02 db2agent (ERMM) rsuser 8448 0.0 0.0 2900 284 - A 20:13:24 0:00 process123 rsuser 11576 0.0 0.0 2492 312 - A 20:13:24 0:00 process123 rsuser 14110 0.0 0.0 1576 288 - A 20:13:24 0:00 process123 rsuser 23584 0.0 0.0 2120 324 - A 20:13:24 0:00 process123 rsuser 24108 0.0 0.0 2540 280 - A 20:13:24 0:00 process123 rsuser 26800 0.0 0.0 1468 356 - A 20:13:24 0:00 process123 I want to retrieve the 2nd and 5th columns of the output. I *think* I can figure out a way for Perl to get these columns but is there a way to return these values to my C program?
